Was not just sanctions it was an eligibility issue i understand the reaction of the public in russia because it doesnt seem logical exactly the russian side doesnt see the logic here how is stripping a person of the right to compete at the olympics not a sanction this is. A special procedure because the created a special commission so the cast by the here reviewed these criteria and said they were fair please let me get this straight the tsotsi case and the chain case your saying that there are absolutely no contradictions between the two decisions yes the fact that you cannot establish the give evidence of the deal doesnt mean that you have established the innocence of the athlete you see what i mean im sorry but i thought that was the exact job of cas to determine whether that suspicion is enough for that kind of bad maybe that there are suspicions which are notes. Confirmed by sufficient evidence i dont know if im clear because its a little bit skopec ated that is you can have some elements which show some. Suspicious actions by the athletes but they may not be sufficient to convince the panel that for sure this athlete is guilty of an antidoping rule violation but it doesnt mean that they actually did nothing at all there may be some. Some strange actions which could lead to some suspicion so you are saying there can be more transparency its possible its possible yes as you heard a couple of minutes ago when cas initially overturned the i. O. C. Bans of the sochi athletes the International Olympic committee was very critical of the court thomas back demanded reforms and i asked the secretary general if anyone returned to these ideas after the final decision of the russian athletes was made and the answer was no so it turns out when the court of arbitration for sport came up with a verdict that fully satisfied the i. O. C. Nobody wants to reform cas any more while you see that exclusive interview with the cast said for generous hard hitting. Full for the day we show you on wednesday you were not international. Instance the lid to committee is another situation on its hands in south korea as reports emerge the i. O. C. Told the us female Ice Hockey Team to remove the image of the statue of liberty from its elements the rules state that no political symbols can be displayed on the athletes uniforms thats why the reports that the lady liberty was being given the Cold Shoulder by the i. O. C. Quickly sparked headlines caused outrage online so media suggesting National Flags and anthems might as well be removed two interesting twitter users echoed those critical remarks some accuse the i. O. C. Are biased saying it doesnt mind sponsor money and logos such as the a famous night but others questions of canada should then remove maybe the iconic maple leaf its National Symbol from its jerseys and equipment i guess you can see the argument either side the i. O. C. Later backtracked saying it was a misunderstanding and it actually never asked the u. S. Team to remove the image but lets talk about it anyway were joined by professor of sports of these of sociology at his cashmore i are less you know what do you think about that than the American Teams helmets fifteen miles in that the one of the most unlikely things got them in trouble the i. O. C. Said its a matter of confusion misunderstanding but i suppose they must have thought that a point to start with yes or no. Yes or no if its a very minor matter of care of it really isnt it but i do find it absolutely ridiculous that the olympics is now trying to stamp out any kind of reference to nationalism the whole point of the olympics was originally at least in the late Nineteenth Century when the modern olympics started to bring nations together and it did have a political motive even though the athletes themselves were not competing as representatives of the countries they were competing as individuals on the other hand over the years what has happened is that the olympics have been hijacked. In one way or another by political Interest Groups sometimes whole governments and have been used for good purposes or bad i dont think you can keep politics out of the olympics any more than you can keep politics out of sport generally and i dont think you can keep nationalism out either so you know this is a storm in a teacup kevin yeah i mean i will when all the media all the cameras are focused on the event like this i suppose is going to happen that bin those south korean protests against north koreas participation have been the fishes claim in the Opening Ceremony was then jumping to blame russia says the new reality of the competition is going to be that way or. I think so i think we have to resign ourselves to the fact that the Olympic Games winter and summer are both inherently political and its not just the two weeks of the games themselves but the whole build up to them weve seen over the past two or three years this whole russian doping business has just escalated and escalated to the point where russians have been eliminated disqualified from competition that is in itself a political decision and weve seen this whole narrative thats been gone for a very long time. About doping and you know ive been on the program before several times talking about this whole issue of how people are burying their heads in the sand saying this is not political its about well of course its political we know all about that we can look at the history of the Olympic Games you know kevin and see that it is political i mean its been used for bad purposes we can remember it some of us at least now hes seventy two in the massacre in munich and any rational person would this is one of the most hideous events if. Only because at the time i want to make a list only because of time just to take you on just sort of the russian doping thing going to begin to feed coming out tomorrow we did with the c. S. I. Going to general he said explanations should be given to the russian athletes that were denied competing in south korea the big news a couple of days ago do you think that will ever be forthcoming though that explanation why hasnt counsel ready given enough reasons. No the terrific interview we saw a few moments ago and i think it it perfectly illustrated the the tangle that the court of arbitration seem to have got themselves into first make flip flopping basically the first they made a decision that flew in the face of the i. O. C. Position and then later said but that doesnt mean to say russians are completely off the hook this wont be a sanction but were still disqualifying them from coming to the olympics you know. How can that not be his and should not be a punishment its going to be interesting to her the last of this year is going to be interesting to see what what he says unfold from our other big interview its a hard hitting what hes saying coming up tomorrow with our correspondent. Talking to the boss there for now ive got to leave it at this catch more thanks professor of sport studies in sociology always love to see you its eighteen minutes past six moscow time coming up a lot more busy news tonight we take a look at the virus that covertly uses your computer to illegally mind cryptocurrency another scary one outs make it waves because its infected sites and groups meant to protect us. Manufacture consent to public wealth. When the ruling class is protect themselves. We can all middle of the room sick. To be. Able to watch saw you on the idea that dropping bombs brings us to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battles. So you start by the tell you that the gas of the fabric. Of our citizens have. Been out. Of office for a week along the border with what. I guess were going next until a virus that can access your computer of mine cryptocurrency back to hack is reportedly infected thousands of government websites kicked off over the weekend this is even affecting the u. K. s Data Protection watchdog you can see the irony there the malware uses a technique known as crypto jacking now heres why heres how it works effectively hijacked computers that visit infected websites so then covertly mines cryptocurrency using the laptop or desktop capabilities stay with me and finally it then sends the mind coins back to the hacker and then on to the online wallet or i scott helms the mother exposed all this obscure the expletive broken the government websites had been infected along with thousands of others in this crypto jacking virus youre a hero Scott Bartley either thanks for being with us but i dont understand it what does this mean i dont know if you are so currency so why should what why should i why should a lot of us worry about this. Like us the worst thing is that you have inadvertently finance their criminal gang your device has been taken over your mind cryptocurrency and has been sent to the criminals that masterminded this attack. Right got to these viruses dont steal data how do they work it later in laymans terms for us. Yes so once youre on one of the infected websites which include some government websites here in the u. K. Over the weekend what happens is your device is temporarily borrowed by the bad guys and they use not to do these complex mathematical operations and that results in you being rewarded with crypto currency which is you know can be converted into real money and then the bad guys make away with that and you have been used your computer your power home has been used to generate funds for the these these criminal gangs know this the way that this guardian apparently was through something called brows allowed yeah thats something the deaf and hard of hearing and. Sight people use thats a lot of people as has gotten and thats how they got in thats the crux of the problem is it. Yeah so a lot of the web sites that were impacted were kind of official or government websites a lot of local councils and departments here in the county because they all load the software for visually impaired visitors to their website to have their website read out loud to them rather than having to read the website and the attackers have compromised this third party and because all of these different government websites load the compromised software into their web pages they are by extension compromised as well so the bad guys target one company and they end up compromising in this case thousands of web sites as well at least one wakeup call after another isnt there i mean a lot of these sites these government sites are highly protected the highly guarding themselves you would think to get this kind of attack but it hasnt worked yet again its going to be constant constant chasing your tail zero isnt it to try and stay above the hackers say one step in front of them. Yeah i think especially with this one one of the the things that im hoping is this will be kind of a wake up call that the technologies do exist to defend against this topic and there are ways that we can ensure this doesnt happen again unfortunately it seems that they were in place in many examples over the weekend and im hoping that this we actually go away quite mildly with krypto jacking it could have been a lot worse and what im hoping is that this will serve as a wake up call Going Forward and we may see organizations start to protect against attacks like this but more and more people use crypto currencies the more and more this were going to see a way. Yes i think so i think certainly the rise of crypto jacking is related to the value of crypto currency so as a crypto currency increases in value if you can steal it or obtain it illegitimately then then your proceeds increase and theyre worth more so i think yes that we will see the rise of more crypto jocking attacks like this partially motivated by the increase in the value of crypto currency is and partially motivated right now by the ease with which these attacks can be carried out and i suppose unless someone pulls a finger right on this its going to deter a lot of people from try in their hand with crypto currency to buy in this stuff for the hard and soft somewhere that could just disappear. I hope not yeah i mean it doesnt it doesnt go a great when headlines are made about crypto currencies and theyre being used by by criminals are being up tamed illegitimately in mind illegitimately like we saw with this attack over the weekend book criminals of use cash for hundreds of years and criminals will move to the next form of currency which is crypto currency so i hope that doesnt deter people but if you just know all the usual it wasnt just big web sites this is personal peoples websites were hacked as well just norden reuse you know how on the board you need to be these days you need to be looking at your. Software to save gods daily weekly was an apple user and we had that great big load the other day you know that you dont notice the knocked off my printers or the truck in the bin. If youre not really big cryptocurrency but you might like to try it. It is really off putting in and if you know so into your computer safeguards that is the normal human being what should you be doing i think theres a few common things of fortune with this attack here because it was government sites that were here you as a user would quite legitimately go to one of those websites and not expect to become a victim of an attack like this. Fortunately this was as i said earlier quiet mild example of what the attackers could have done but i think common advice still applying is you know make sure that you keep your device up to date if its an i phone do the i phone update if its windows do Windows Update make sure youre getting the latest versions of maybe you have antivirus programs on your computers all of the standard kind of advice still applies here. And you know that the why diminish it just needs to react to this and start getting on top of these kinds of attacks scott out there Emergency Service a curing expert here as we say i think youve been on the program much appreciated thank you for watching as well this is Art International im kevin though in more just over thirty minutes. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury. Or somehow want to be rich. To go on to be prosperous like the hopeful tree in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of our. Question. Joining me every thursday on the all excitement show and ill be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport thats less im show business ill see you than. In america a College Degree requires a great deal. Paying a decades long debt. Studying so hard it requires trust to. Go through humiliation to enter an elite society. And parching to death sometimes quite literally. Wants of the true colors of universities in the us. If not now. Im in my. Eyes. Ratings salutation. Who doesnt love a good spy story arc watchers and boy oh boy oh boy oh boy did we get a doozy this week both the intercept and the New York Times released competing stories featuring one hundred thousand dollars cash drops shady Intelligence Agency middleman the promise of trump russian compromise that and the danger of stolen n. S. A. Hacking tools you know tom clancy couldnt write any better. Ian fleming could but i digress writing for the intercept james risin outlines how the n. S. A. Was desperate to recover documents that intelligence officials believe russia had obtained through a Mysterious Group known as the shadow brokers but once the Communications Channel opened the russians on the other side offered to sell documents related to trump along with these stolen and they say documents rising goes on to write how the cia was wary of accepting the trump documents initially worried about not only the motives behind the offer but the potential political blowback as well meanwhile over at the New York TimesMatthew Rosenberg reported that after months of secret negotiations a shadowy russian built american spies out of one hundred thousand dollars last year and that the episode ended this year with american spies chasing the russian out of western europe a spy story told well rising the story didnt mention the hundred grand both stories ultimately concluded that the russia russian go between offering all the info could not be relied upon or trusted but i guess that didnt stop us from handing over a hundred thousand grand to him in the process the cia has come out firing telling a fee that this is a fictional story that the cia was bilked out of a hundred grand is patently false the people swindled here were james rising and mad rosenberg. Journalist versus the cia the cia versus credibility the n. S. A. Still left wondering where their hacking tools under the up and the russia gaiters all of the russia gaiters once again disappointed that reality just does not reflect their fantasy i guess its time to start watching the hawks. To. Get the. Real thing its like. At the bottom if you. Like you know that i got. Three. Weeks. Welcome on the watching the hawks i am i robot and im taffeta well thats. A lot of spies this weekend to have big spy was spying novel big here going on and yet somehow we dont seem to get more information about this by that suppose the reason were investigating spying and the first. Its too hard to keep eyes too hard to keep up now that was a fascinating think as you saw like the intercept story came out like earlier on friday and then suddenly out came the New York Times and i had first to think like oh we were negotiating for information to get like these hacking tools then we got like russia gate to trump russian collusion that russians themselves wanted to sell to us and then suddenly the New York Times story comes out undercuts all of that and says no they were built out of a hundred grand and that like all these people seem to be kind of ponies and not really who they say they were and not really representing what they said they represented which is begs the question said we believe the cia when they come out today you know saying that they never paid the russians off for they are in. Asian or anything we didnt pay anybody but the cia literally has a policy of not confirming or denying so them saying its not is odd to me it is because they wouldnt nor
